On a fine November day, an outing with my 4 year old son was coming to a close when a cyclist stopped me. My son was dragging and ready to go home. The owl was probably gone by now. But I couldn’t leave. So I carried him. And my gear. And we raced down the path, my legs and arms burning, my rig clattering around. We almost gave up. And then there he was. Unbothered, regal. Staring down at us. It was an enchanted moment.

I’m a born and raised Albertan, and always been active in one respect or another - taking advantage of our mountains for Skiing, camping and casual hikes over the years. I finally came to realize that I’d never completed a summit on any mountains worth noting, and so I decided along with 3 other friends that this mountain would be my first. It was quite a challenge, but as you can see the views were amazing! It was well worth the effort, and I an experience I’ll never forget. Mt Sparrowhawk’s summit sits at around 10,250ft (approx).

Living in Calgary, AB we are so close to one of the most amazing places on earth, the Rocky Mountains. We don’t nearly make it out there as often as we’d like but when we do, we love to explore new places. being in nature truly is rejuvenating and Canmore is a great day trip for us to escape.

We were driving through Canmore, Alberta, on our way to Banff National Park. I was overwhelmed by the number of mountains surrounding us; it was the first time I had seen such natural gigantism right in front of me. With the clouds being scattered here and there, and speeding down a high way, it was very difficult to capture the beauty I was seeing with my own eyes through my camera. But as the clouds broke apart over, one particular mountain’s rocky slope and dense tree-covering were illuminated, and I knew that this was the mountain that was worth a quick stop.

We decided to tackle the steep trail to Ha Ling Peak in an attempt to catch the sunrise. The entire ascent was on one side of the mountain which was part of a valley of peaks. The trees shrouded any view and there wasn’t much to see even after we had past the treeline. The last few hundred meters were filled with scree and as we finally reached the peak, this was the first thing we saw and it all immediately became worth it.

My buddy Jeff and I tried to catch the “blue hour” at Banff yesterday. The clouds got in the way but not before we were able to catch a hint of emerging sunshine contrasted with the blue of the mountains before us. For me, I wished the moment lasted longer; it is quite interesting standing on a frozen lake surrounded by these majestic peaks.

Sometimes, when you are surrounded by a collection of great shots, turning around and lookng up can give a whole new look to your surroundings. That’s what happened here! While my buddy Jeff and I were focused on the mountains directly ahead of us, I turned 180 degrees and saw the first sliver of sun hitting the mountain behind us. I quickly turned around to capture the moment, and it was moment because the sun disappeared very quickly… I think I was lucky.

During a 20km cross-country ski trek, we paused while passing a bridge to take in the scenery around us, and capture the moment with a camera. This is Banff & the Rocky’s at it’s finest.

There is something about a huge mountain reflection in a lake that just puts you at ease. Here is another picture from my trip to the Canadian Rockies. Lake Minnewanka at Sunrise.

Two Jack Lake is one of my favorite places to return to. The sunrises here are spectacular as the light hits Rundle Mountain and it reflects in the water. On this particular morning I noticed these stepping stones lent to give me the perfect composition for the spectacular background scenery. Looking back at this picture reminds me how peaceful it is at this lake in the early hours of the day.

I was going on this trip up to Calgary and have always heard about the amazing views and beauty of Banff National Forest. When I arrived, it was way more than I could have expected. The views were breathtaking and this photo doesn’t even do a justice to what you will witness. This was in October and it is the perfect time to go. Not too cold and there are not too many people visiting the park, so makes for some epic landscapes. I highly recommend this place so that you can take in the beauty for yourself!

We had just finished up our day out in the wilderness of banff, and we were driving back into town. traffic slowed a bit, and we wondered what was going on. As we seemed to get close to what was causing the delay, I happened to look out my window and see this beautiful buck casually grazing. Thankfully my camera was sitting on my lap, and while we were sitting there, I was able to snap this picture.

It was coming on the tail end of our North American road trip. Alberta was the final destination after driving up the Pacific Coast. As soon as we crossed from British Columbia into Alberta, this mother Grizzly and her cub were eating flowers beside the road. I had just bought a super zoom specifically for this trip and I’m so thankful I did. We pulled over on the other side of the road and we were dead silent - Knowing how bears can be. My first time seeing a Grizzly and my first time in Alberta.

I live in Alberta, Canada and Banff is a fairly close drive that takes about an hour from where I live. Banff is one of my favorite places to take photos since I go on many hikes in the area. This image of the mountain with the forest in front was on of those hikes during the summer.

After hiking the backwoods of Banff around Cascade Mountain, I found a nice little spot to hang my hat and pitch my hammock to take a nap in total solitude.

My father took this picture over 40 years ago. He was living in Canada after emigrating from Ireland and saw the country as a rich land full of opportunity.
